Eggless sponge pista cake soaked in rose - pistachio syrup, frosted with vanilla whipped cream frosting, topped with crushed dried rose and pista
CAN I USE WHEAT FLOUR INSTEAD OF ALL-PURPOSE/FLOUR?
For a light and soft cake, all-purpose flour is preferred. Using wheat flour might result in dense cake. If you prefer to use wheat flour choose fine ground flour and add an extra 2 or 3 tablespoon of milk. Also, add extra sugar syrup to moist the cake
CAN I USE BUTTER INSTEAD OF OIL?
Yes, oil can be substituted with melted unsalted butter but as I told you in my other cake recipes oil makes the moist cake. I would recommend flavorless oil
HOW CAN I ADOPT THE RECIPE FOR OTHER CAKE PANS?
I have used a 7-inch cake pan. You can use the same proportion and split it into two 6 inch pans. Double the recipe for 9-inch pista rose cake
HOW LONG SHOULD I MICROWAVE Milk?
I have microwaved for 2 minutes but time might vary based on your microwave oven setting. Microwave milk turns hot.
CAN I BOIL MILK ON THE STOVETOP?
Yes, you can cook milk just till it turns warm avoid boiling hot milk.
Can I use milk from the fridge?
hot milk helps to raise the cake and make it spongy so I would recommend it. Avoid using milk directly from the fridge
CAN I BAKE IN THE PAN?
Yes place a stand and preheat the pan for 10 minutes on medium flame. Place the cake pan on top, cover with a lid and cook for 30-40 minutes on low flame
What kind of pistachio should I use?
I used lightly salted pistachio and that worked perfect for the cake. You can use unsalted pistachio too
Why should I grind all the dry ingredients?
If you grind pista alone it might turn oily but grinding pista with other ingredients helps for the perfect texture.
Can I skip food color?
Yes, food color is optional. you can skip
